In George Martin’s book, Game of Thrones, and in HBO’s version Game of Thrones, there are many similarities that avid readers and T.V connoisseur are conscious of.

The story follows Tris Prior, a sixteen year old girl who realizes her Divergence, or possession of characteristics of more than one faction.

    Have you ever watched a movie based on a book that told the exact same story? To me, for some reason, books always seem to be the better one out of the two. I feel that in novels, the author develops the story with as many details as possible, while in movies that aspect doesn’t appear in the same way. There aren’t as many details in films since it has to last for a certain amount of time, but books can last for as many pages as the author would like them to. When I read, the fascinating novel “Beowulf,” I really enjoyed how the author made me use my imagination to create a picture of the world that the characters were living in.
